Purpose of the Study : South Korea's widening socioeconomic gaps challenge educational equity despite government reforms in university admissions and educational policy. Teachers face persistent difficulties due to insufficient knowledge, motivation, and organizational resources. This case study employed Clark and Estes' gap analysis framework to examine factors affecting teacher effectiveness in supporting student achievement at a Christian-founded high school in Seoul where teachers from diverse religious backgrounds work within the school's faith-based mission. Research Content and Method : Survey data and interviews were collected from teachers to examine knowledge, motivation, and organizational factors affecting teacher effectiveness. The study investigated how these three domains influence teachers' capacity to support student achievement within the context of the school's Christian institutional identity. Conclusions and Suggestions : Survey data identified gaps in teachers' factual and procedural knowledge, motivational challenges including low job satisfaction, and insufficient organizational resources. Interview findings revealed that both Christian and non-Christian teachers valued the school's Christian institutional identity, describing values-based leadership and community culture as supporting their professional work. Recommendations include implementing servant leadership principles and strengthening professional learning communities aligned with the school's Christian institutional mission to enhance teacher effectiveness and student achievement.
