what about taking her out on your bike, and tell her to pay attn where you are depending on where cars are around you? easier if shes on the back than having her try to ride and pay attn to you. also easier to communicate.

depends on how she learns easiest. some ppl see it and it clicks, other ppl have to read it, etc.

i learned to shift on a long vacant road. i could drive a stickshift already, so it was easier for me to transition the movements, but on that long street it was ez to concentrate on just shifting, no cars, no traffic, no turning.

i used to practice the motions with the bike off too. shifting is like a simultaneous motion using ur leg and both arms, not a 1-2-3 motion. that mite help her speed up the actual shifting process.

just throwing a few ideas your way, maybe some of em work 4ya.
