The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

    Training systems for learning social skills has shown effective in many domains such as medicine, education, among others. While building such systems with autonomous 3D socially intelligent agents have great potential, methodology to coordinate the complexities of the necessary parallel user-centered design lifecycles that are involved in their development is lacking. We discuss the user-centered methodology we used to develop an effective training system to help teachers learn effective classroom management behaviors, and our lessons learned in the process.
