Agility, responsiveness and keen observation are some of the good qualities of great teachers. They always keep their mind open and try every possible way to best engage their students and get them excited about learning. This is possible only when they try out various interactive teaching styles in the classroom. Various instructional interactive teaching styles that are discussed in this paper are designed around one simple principle: to comprehend the study material in depth, practical knowledge is must. Theory without implementation with actual demonstration along with plenty of applicability is of no use. This paper reviews several professional development interactive instructional activities that are expected to boost higher education professionals to support education development in university teachers. The techniques discussed are evidence-based and have as such proven to be effective and efficient in higher education settings. The use of such activities will improve the learning skills in students and will achieve a better learning engagement of students in classrooms and laboratories. Experiential use of these activities will develop the professional background to develop their own training sessions in professional development centres in universities. All together six different techniques have been reviewed in the paper: Metaplan, Interactive questions, Video competence, peer assessment, collaborative learning and peer tutoring. The techniques focus on relatively independent strategies that teachers can adopt to invoke learning in their students
