What should I list for my wife's occupation last year? She graduated from college last year in May 2020, and began working as a teacher August 2020.

She was student teaching the whole time last year. I just don't know if there is a way to list her occupation as both a student and a teach for last year.

Use teacher if she wants to.   The IRS does not use "occupation" for anything that affects you.   It is only used for statistical purposes.
