Anyone that's been in the classroom for the past decade can attest to the drastically increasing proportion of apathetic, under-motivated students.  Rather than blame it on the generation and accept its inevitability, this presentation discusses the effect of two distinct "mindsets" on everyday decision making, how it leads to this level of apathy, and how the problem (fixed) mindset can be corrected!  This discussion also highlights a historically forgotten student population, the high-achieving perfectionist, and how the proper mindset could help our brightest students break away from the shackles of perception and reach limitless potential!  Finally, the flipped classroom will be discussed as one possible technique to encourage the growth mindset, including a description of how this model has been performed successfully in the real-world classroom!
