This project will provide Georgia Tech access to the tools and theory of the Hall-Tonna Values Model. Researchers will further test the validity of Hall-Tonna's conceptual framework and relate the original Hall-Tonna findings to other leading values models. The tools developed throughout the course of this study will be used by Georgia Tech in research and in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

• Research the validity of the Hall-Tonna values theory
• Investigate Hall-Tonna's conceptual relationship to other leading values approaches
• Explore and expand the pedagogy of the Hall-Tonna developmental values approach
• Host a bi-annual values conference at Georgia Tech with the first full conference to held in the second half of 2008
• An initial pre-conference of invited participants could be held in second half of 2007 to accelerate the strategic planning process
• Host and facilitate an online values community to further connect researchers and practitioners between conferences
