My name is Estefania Alves, I am 32 years old,

and I am a School Social Worker and Clinical Coordinator

at the Dearborn STEM Academy in Dorchester;

I make $120,000 a year, and $102,000 of that is

for my position as a School Social Worker,

and another, the $18,500 left is for my position

an entrepreneurship program that is a part of the school.

The Dearborn STEM Academy is a school with 380 students,

we have students in grade six through 12,

we just graduated our first Senior class this year;

and we have students from all over the city,

and also they are immigrants, they are Spanish-speaking,

Cape Verdean Creole speaking, a whole different

I am responsible for all 380 students that walk through

the Dearborn doors, however, do I meet with 380 everyday

No; each year, I probably have a set of maybe 65 students

that I work with closely; my main role and my priority here

is to help students with their mental health,

there are a lot of different dynamics in the community

and their lives, in situations that happen that affect

There's other triggers in the school, outside of the school,

so I need to ensure that they're here and they're

mentally prepared to receive their education,

no matter what the issue is, whether it's homelessness,

whether it's poverty, whether it's an immigration issue,

whether it's a school issue, a conflict with the student,

whatever it is, I need to make sure that they're

mentally here and present to receive their education.

The typical project for me would be working with

the Guidance Counselors, the school Psychologist,

the school Dean, the school Student Support Coordinator,

the Nurse; to pinpoint certain issues that a student

might be experiencing based on data that we are looking at,

for example, we might look at attendance and see

that a student has come into school tardy

every day of the week, or that a student has been out

that, right there is an indicator that something

We look at students who maybe are not dressed properly,

students who are not focusing in class, that would be

some type of disability, or some type of issue

that is not allowing them to focus in class at the moment.

We have to figure out how do we best address each student

situation, and each situation requires a different strategy;

to do this job properly, you definitely need

some cultural competency, because I support students

and nationalities, so you want to make sure that

you understand them and their background a little bit

Additionally, you need to show empathy, compassion,

sometimes I find that the best way to build a relationship

with these students is to get on their level,

I think I benefit from that a little bit,

so I like to say I'm "hip," sometimes (laughing)

that definitely helps me, having younger siblings,

so being able to understand the world that they live in now,

and supporting them based on the struggles and the way

the world revolves around them at this time.

It's not, you know, I like to say I'm still young at heart,

but the way I grew up is totally different

It's just creating a host of different problems

that come into the school, and that's their reality,

So I make 120,000 annually, and I think that's a result

of the amount of years I have put in the district,

I'm going into my eighth year, and also because

in Boston Public Schools, you get compensated based

on the amount of years you have in the district

so that's why I'm at 120,000, but realistically,

because the other $18,500 comes from my BUILD pay,

and I probably invest about 15 hours a week or more.

The 15 hours is split between my teaching,

my preparing to teach, staying after school

with the students, and in meetings with BUILD staff,

sometimes it's more than 15 hours, or in competition season,

I'm after school on extra days, manufacturing

with the students, making sure they're prepared
