There is plenty of support amongst the educational community but that is not the same as saying that empirical research underlies the support. What is the evidence? Sorry, but cries of 'old hat' and vague claims that society is built of creativity/capitalism/cream cheese are not scientifically falsifiable (i.e. you can't demonstrate if they're right or wrong). Sorry, I think that the main support for MI is fad support; education does go through several fads over a few decades.
All I can say is the vast amount of data out there to support my point of view has been around for a long time and has been well demonstrated.
