Through addressing barriers such as faculty perceptions and misconceptions, factors impacting teacher resilience, and the need for multi-stakeholder support in developing literacy of generative AI technology, faculty can develop strategies to help support students in navigating the various challenges presented by generative AI in their classrooms. Through examining faculty approaches to incorporating generative AI across disciplines, this study offers pedagogical approaches to ethical incorporation of generative AI into higher education classrooms. Utilizing an Ethics of Care framework, this research study illustrates ways faculty can build resilience to develop caring pedagogical approaches to guiding responsible and effective use of Generative AI technologies. Finally, this study applies an Ethics of Care to address ambiguity around rules for appropriate use and strategies that make incorporation so time consuming. 001557866 6531_ $$aGenerative AI and ethics; AI in education; AI literacy; teacher support; ethics of Care 001557866 7001_ $$aLawrence, Jenny$$uUniversity of Southern Indiana 001557866 8564_ $$97f9912b0-e7cf-46ed-aa2a-4aada041a807$$s5674342$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1557866/files/Final%20dissertaion%20draft%20for%20SOAR%21.docx 001557866 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1557866$$pGLOBAL_SET 001557866 980__ $$aDISSERTATION
