According to Professor Patricia Broadfoot, a former Professor of Education the key ingredients of good teaching included: creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and fairness in the classroom, providing opportunities for "active learning" and humour to encourage pupil engagement, making learning interesting, and explaining things clearly.

If these alleged activiies did not affect their performances in the classroom what does it matter. What do you think?
