first step is sitting on the bike not running. make her "apply" the brakes and roll off the throttle. people almost always want to roll on the throttle as they go for the brake when beginning.
then on the little dirtbike like that I would take her in the yard or trail and do the clutch out and clutch in thing. let it out to get the bike going then pull it back in after ten feet or so. make her apply the brakes smoothly while pulling the clutch.
once she gets used to stopping like that you can let her start some slow laps. all first gear. if she grabs the brakes in the turn she'll go down but it'll be slow speed.

oh yeah, MSF as a required response.
