The Shimano pedals work fine. The first thing she will have to do is get comfortable clicking into the pedals, especially if she rides in traffic. Don't bother with MTB pedals. To get myself familiar, I practiced with them on my trainer. A spin class would work as well. Nearly everyone (myself included) will forget to clip out when first starting to use them, usually resulting in falling over in front of a bunch of people at a busy intersection. It should only happen once.
She will probable want a pair of Tri shoes, the usually have a single big strap or the spendy ones have some sort of quick release. They're well vented so your feet can dry while on the bike. If she plans to do more than sprints, make sure they're comfortable. She doesn't want to come off the bike with numb feet or blisters & then have to run 12 miles.
I would adjust pedal releases real lose to begin with & then tighten them as she gains confidence.
