Abstract	The purpose of the Exemplary Practice in Science and Mathematics Education (EPSME) study was to identify high quality science and mathematics teaching, to document exemplary practice through case studies, and to investigate key characteristics common to exemplary teaching in different sites. As one aspect of the overall project, students' perceptions of classroom psychosocial environment in classes taught by exemplary teachers were used in investigating any systematic differences between the classroom environments of exemplary and ordinary teachers. This paper includes: (1) a description of the EPSME project; (2) a description of the instruments used to assess classroom environment; and (3) a discussion of salient findings concerning the classroom environments of exemplary elementary science teachers and an exemplary high school biology teacher. These findings suggest that exemplary and ordinary science teachers can be differentiated in terms of the psychosocial environments of their classrooms. (JN)
