This study outlines the objective to explore teachers’ understanding and practice of differentiated learning in Sirah teaching in the classroom. The study design was a case study using a qualitative approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews and document analysis involving five teachers and 25 students in group focused interviews from five Trust Schools in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. The findings of the audio -recorded interviews were transcribed, compiled, systematically categorized, analyzed, and triangulated with the interview data of the study participants to develop and refine the interpretation of the data. The collected data were categorized into specific themes and coded based on the purpose of the study. The findings of the study indicate that teachers have a clear and deep understanding of different learning concepts in the teaching of Sirah in the classroom. All Sirah IET’s practice differentiated learning in the teaching of Sirah through the approach of identifying the level of students in a class, determining groups and implementing appropriate activities. Meanwhile, students must also play their part to the best of their ability. Students must provide cooperation and input throughout the teaching session.
