We all have weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share something that you are genuinely working. It is best to choose something that is a task-oriented weakness and not a character trait. Mention it briefly and turn the conversation towards how you are actively working on improving this weakness. There will always be things that can be improved upon, so share something that wouldn't be detrimental to your position with the school and show off your self-awareness by remaining humble and stating your steps to improvement.

"To be very honest with you, I'm not great at administrative work. Staying super organized does not come naturally to me, so I have to be intentional about building it into my routine and staying disciplined in this way. I've become adept at making systems to organize my paperwork. I have checklists and step-by-step instructions for myself so that I don't waste time remembering what I have to do next. I've come up with a routine to quickly turn around homework and paperwork so that my desk remains clear and students/families stay up to date. These strategies are working for me so far, but I'm still learning how to improve upon this skill."
