By "normales" it's talking about the schools for teachers, but I don't know how to say this, since docentes is teachers...any suggestions?

Elementary school teachers graduated from Normal Schools
Si el texto hace alusión a un determinado tipo de docentes, es decir los normales, entonces ésta sería la traducción correcta. Una nota acerca del contexto ayudaría.

The primary division faculty of the education institutes.
This seems to work for me, as a former teacher.

Teachers from Teaching Training Colleges (Primary School Teaching)
I would render the phrase like that, if the text you are translating comes from Mexico.

: If it's for UK or similar then I agree, maybe "Primary School Teachers from Teacher Training Colleges" could also work well.

The faculty of Normal Schools
Since Normal School is a high school elementary teachers' training, I find the last part of the sentence redundant. Just remember that Normal Schools are disappearing (at least in Ecuador), and are being by pedagogical institutes or schools in colleges.

the Faculty of Primary Teacher Education Programs
"Teacher Education Programs" is widely used in the US (assuming your translation is for here) and could cover whatever type of program the source document is referring to, whether it is actually an old-fashioned normal school, or one of the newer programs which is integrated into a university or college.

Teachers (or Faculty) of Primary Teacher Training Colleges (Institutions)
This assumes that the text refers to present-day teacher training institutions, which would be colleges. In the past, and up till fairly recently in some countries, “normal schools” operated at the high school level.
As pointed out in the following WR thread, “docentes” aren’t necessarily professors.
Perhaps “faculty” is more generic.
