Educator training institution
A normal school is a teacher-training institution, particularly one that prepares students to teach at the elementary level.
The term comes from the French *école normale*, where "normal" referred to establishing teaching norms or standards.
Common in the 19th and early 20th centuries, most normal schools have since evolved into universities or colleges of education: She attended the state normal school before becoming a teacher.
