About Me
Hello, I am Reg Noland.
Hello, I am Reg Noland.
I have been a resident of Tulsa County since June of 1989 and have been a mathematics instructor at Booker T. Washington High School since 1990. So, Tulsa is now my permanent home--at least until someone drags me from my classroom kicking and screaming. I have been living in Oklahoma since June of 1979.

I am a dedicated teacher, committed to helping my students become the most that they can be.
I am a dedicated teacher, committed to helping my students become the most that they can be.
I teach students--the discipline (mathematics, English, logic, etc.) is merely the medium through which I try to help students maximize their potential and develop their multiple intelligences. I feel that teaching is more than a job for me: it has been a life-long calling, and despite its occasional frustrations, I cannot imagine myself being happy doing anything else. I enjoy learning and am trying to convince others that learning can indeed be fun.

I am an active member of the Tulsa Church of God, a Sabbaths-keeping, apostolic, law-abiding Christian church, where I serve as one of five song leaders and as one of a dozen speakers. Its appeal to me probably stems from its endorsement of what I call "the mathematicians' verse:"

Many people accuse me of being more than a little flaky, but the red patches on my skin in the picture are treated psoriasis plaques. The National Psoriasis Foundation Home Page provides information about this skin disorder.

Personality Types
Personality Types
At the beginning of the year, I ask my students to take a number of personality tests so that I can know how to work with them and which students to combine together into learning colonies, so it is only fitting that I share the same information with them. Below are my personality types with links to more detailed information.
