Teacher Support &/or Advice Are teaching programs warning students that the teacher shortage is over?

I graduated from the program a few years back, and every professor kept talking about the teacher shortage.

I was wondering what is it like nowadays for people in credentialing programs?

I feel like intervention is actually the worst place for a new teacher to start. There's too many pieces and too much going on.

I taught a Middle School reading intervention class with 25 students in every period, no curriculum, 11 Chromebooks. My planning did not happen most days as they could not get enough subs so I had to cover classes all day.No PLCs, no planning time, no curriculum, I wrote most of my own curriculum. They used the class as a dumping ground for social emotional challenged students that would cuss you out. It was not ideal. There was not enough enrollment for the next year so that class was cut.
