Abstract	The quality of education is fundamentally tethered to the quality of its teachers. In-service teacher education occupies a pivotal role in ensuring educators remain professionally vibrant, pedagogically current, and humanistically developed. This paper presents a Serialist Model of In-Service Teacher Education grounded in the Taxonomy of Teacher Education, which reconceptualises Bloom's three domains into three contextualised axes, the Knowledge Base Axis, the Competency-Based Axis, and the Human Development Axis. The model advances a phased, sequential framework integrating Refresher Courses, Orientation Courses, Faculty Induction Programmes (FIPs), Short-Term Programmes (STPs), and other modalities. Drawing on NEP-2020, NCTE guidelines, Shulman, Habermas, and Deng & Luke, the paper argues that qualitative excellence is achievable only through a holistic, serial progression across all three axes.
